Reviewing the Learning Outcomes

How have I gained Shakespeare Literacy?

• Over the Semester I have been able to read 6 plays. The Tempest, King Henry V, The Merchant of Venice, Hamlet, Much ado About Nothing, King Lear, Loves Labour's Lost, and helped discover a lost Shakespeare play titled Meleager.

How have I analyzed Shakespeare critically?

• My knowledge helped me on the final to make sure we stayed true to Shakespeares methods. I have learned alot through reading all the plays and have critically analyzed in several blog posts one example can be seen here.

How have I engaged Shakespeare creatively?

• I was able to help write and produce a scene for a Shakespeare Played called Meleager. I was able to act and learn lines for the play we didn't end up using them all in the final production but it was a great opportunity. I was able to attend a production of the Merchant of Venice and I posted a review. Another way is, I have been able to see 2 video production’s of Shakespeare. I saw Henry V, and also Hamlet on video.

How have I shared Shakespeare meaningfully?

• I have been sharing my Shakespeare through conversation’s with a lot of different people. People became much more interested and were more engaged when I started talking about our final project. They were all eager and interested to see how we were going to make it work. It seems everyone has had a chance to doing something with Shakespeare. I tried reaching out through twitter, but I think I didn't get much of a response because I just created my account.

How have I gained digital literacy?

• I now have posted 5 videos to YouTube. I had never done that before. I have become proffecient in using Blogger and no how to use the Vidyo conferencing equipment fairly well. I learned how to edit video's in Camtasia. I learned how to post content to twitter and how to subscribes blogs to a google reader account.

This one is shorter and you can hear this time. Getting closer to a final draft.

Commen Elements Meleager to Caesar

This is what I have been working on.

I want to shorten it to 1 minute. I also edited the audio with headphones so unfortunately some parts of my commentary aren't loud enough. Let me know what you think so far.

Common Elements Meleager to Troilus and Cressida

I want to shorten this one to under a minute as well.

Analyzing Shakespeare's Fight/Murder Scenes

So we are well underway with the fight scene for Meleager, as part of the proof we want to compare it to other scenes from Shakespeare's plays. What are the common elements you can see between these two?

What other plays should we look at?

Why Meleager was lost.

Through research we have found that the play Meleager had a short lifespan. It was written just prior to Troilus and Cressida. The reason it was short lived the terrible production of Shakespeares script and the actor's unbelief in the success the play could have. After just a handful of plays the everyone burned their scripts, and the play was history. Or so they thought... little did they know it would show up in the First Fauxlio and be reintroduced to the world.
